Google Add-Ons
Last week we talked about Chrome extensions, and while there are numerous more extensions you can search to make your life easier as a teacher, today we will focus on add-ons.
There are TONS of add-ons within the Google apps. Think of add-ons like little short-cuts.
In Google Docs (Google Sheets works the same way), select "Add-ons" then "Get add-ons".

In Google Docs (Google Sheets works the same way), select "Add-ons" then "Get add-ons".
Here you can search for specific Add-ons or browse by topic.
Once you have added whichever add-on you've chosen, you can access it anytime you are in Google Docs by returning to the Add-ons menu. Here you can also manage/delete them.
Some initial suggestions for you and your students:
- EasyBib: Cite sources within your Google Doc without going to the EasyBib site
- g(Math): Insert graphs and equations
- Kaizena: Audio record feedback on student documents rather than type them
- VexTab Musical Notation: Musical notation within Google Docs
- Teacher rubrics such as OrangeSlice, Doctopus (which pairs with Goobric), and Flubaroo: grade within student work
The list goes on. You can also find how-to tutorials on the above and a variety of others.
Remember that the purpose of these add-ons is for you and your students to have more functionality and tools within Google. You can turn them on and off at any time.
